The MOD-LCD4.3 development board enables code development of applications running on the NXP LPC2478 ARM microcontroller, manufactured by NXP. A flexible flat cable connects a 4.3-inch LCD to the board. It is easy for the LCD to be embedded in industrial panels.

As well as being a standalone system, this board can be used as a touchscreen LCD extension to existing and future Olimex boards that have a UEXT connector.

Can support an SMB380 3-axis digital accelerometer in QFN10 (not included)

UEXT Connector

The UEXT connector provides a solderless way to connect this module as an add-on peripheral to another system with a microcontroller. There are dozens of microcontroller systems and development boards that can connect to this module via UEXT using an IDC10 cable. Click on the architectures below for lists of compatible boards:

Note: This board has several empty pads where you can install extra components. As well as pads for an accelerometer and its support circuitry, other circuits on the board have pads for resistors or capacitors in case you need them for your design. Open the PDF of the schematic and search for "NA" to see all the unpopulated pads and what component you can put on each one.
